In the spring of 2025, the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) and its sub-festival Just Film, in cooperation with Kinomaja Film School, launched Estonia’s first film education network.

Film is a natural form of expression and a cultural language for young people, something they engage with every day. Yet film education currently reaches schools and hobby schools rather sporadically — often depending on individual enthusiasts, isolated projects, or festivals.

To build a stronger and more sustainable foundation, we initiated the Estonian Film Education Network.

The youth and children's film festival Just Film attracted almost 17,000 visitors from all over Estonia last year. The festival featured 168 screenings in Tallinn and Tartu, including 5 world premieres and 6 international premieres. In addition, the program was filled with numerous other amazing films, representing a wide variety of genres and themes. Over 200 film guests attended, and a total of more than 76 films were screened.
